...York almost as much as I loved music. For to be in on the metamorphosis of a provincial orchestra into the world's greatest (and some of us knew that this would happen with Szell at the helm) was as exciting an experience in prospect as joining a wagon train going to the Oregon country, or taking the Santa Fe Trail to the gold fields of California during the 1850s...
...basic ensemble consists of three organs, fitted out with 6-ft.-high wood and metal pipes, and Wolfgang plays one of them himself. When necessary, Wolfgang and his associates are joined by flutists, oboists, violinists and viola players who trail behind the furniture van in a chauffeur-driven station wagon. Wandering from town to town, playing for anybody, the group has worked its way through the sonatas, preludes and choir introductions of J. S. Bach, all the organ music ever written by Mozart, the works of Handel and of both the Haydns, Franz Joseph and his brother Johann Michael...
...Shuttle service, in which fares are low ($14.29 New York to Washington v. $20.05 for first-class jet service), frills are nonexistent, and the passenger is assured of a seat (a back-up plane flies any overflow). Tickets are sold in flight by a stewardess who trundles a ticket wagon down the aisle. Maclntyre intends next month to extend the no-reservation service to the Houston-New Orleans route. Between San Francisco and Los Angeles, Western and Pacific Southwest are already operating a shuttle-type service. American's Smith hopes to offer perhaps the cheapest form of air travel...
...pretty soon switches her to the sauce. Hour after hour she sits tippling with TV, and he is too busy watching pink elephants to notice that they are pouring their lives down the hatch.

The minute he gets out of it he joins Alcoholics Anonymous, but she goes right on drinking. In horror he understands that the cure will...
...More. The mill wheel was the all-purpose appliance that could run saws, pump bellows, grind grain, keep trip hammers thumping, turn meat spits and rock babies, all at once. Woods were selected according to capability, and when a wagon was built-oak frame, elm sides and floor, ash spokes and shafts, pine seat, hickory slats-it lasted about twelve times as long as a Cadillac...
